Surface by surface
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
How we handle new build mastic in Wickham St Paul
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. If you’re dealing with new-build shower sealant that has already split and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help.
Older homes in small places like Wickham St Paul often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Record problems with dated photos
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.

Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
